Chicken dung prison #Chicken dung prison, Chanthaburi province

Chicken Khee Prison or French Fort is an ancient prison. In 1893, the French occupied Chanthaburi Province and built Chicken Khee Prison to imprison Thai prisoners who resisted the French who came to live in Thailand but never used it. It was built along with the construction of the Red Building. The upper floor was used as a chicken farm for defecation on the heads of the prisoners below. Chicken Khee Prison is a rectangular building with a width of 4 meters and a height of 10 meters. Chicken Khee Prison is located in Village No. 1, Pak Laem Sing Subdistrict, Laem Sing District, Chanthaburi Province. Chicken Khee Prison has been registered as an ancient monument by the Fine Arts Department and has been restored by the Fine Arts Department to be a source of historical study and a tourist attraction, including organizing an area for easy visits. Some historians argue that this building was not built as a prison but to be used as an observation tower next to the Red Building, called “French Fort.” #ChickenKheePrison #PlacestovisitnearBangkok
